I Had a Dream

I Had A Dream by Kevin L Fairbrother My paid working life as come to a end Not rich… Not Poor… On a pension With a lifetime of memories to recall I am rich in experience that I will pass on … I had a dream that when I retired I would work less and enjoy life more But that dream did not become reality As I am working more and relaxing less … Maybe the cause is my management of time With family and friends taking up my waking hours Or it may be because I don’t get out of bed till 9am And half the day has gone and I’m not even dressed … There is always something to do, or somewhere to go And there is never enough hours to do what I’ve set myself But deep down I don’t mind as it occupies my day As I just cant recollect where my time was spent … The words above I just wrote in the last hour After cutting and splitting 4 ton of firewood I felt the need to justify my time by writing this poem For my new dream is to become a writer of poetry
